Donald Trump can doubt climate change all he likes – California will force the US to fight against it

Those who wait with dread for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration can't decide what they fear most. Death by nuclear apocalypse? The end of free trade and rapid global economic collapse? Or the turbocharging of climate change with all the coal in West Virginia?

Even Republicans are starting to worry about Trump's views on climate change.

This week, the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency under George W. Bush and leading Republican, Christine Todd Whitman, warned that she fears for her grandchildren’s future because of Trump’s doubts about the science of climate change, his vow to burn more coal and his promise to slash environmental protections.
